Medical Directives

A medical directive is given in advance by a physician or nurse practitioner to enable an implementer to perform an act/procedure, under specific conditions, without a direct assessment by the physician/nurse practitioner. Medical Directives facilitate inter-professional care, protect the public, assure competence, establish authority, uphold accountability and enable evolution.

All Taddle Creek FHT’s medical directives go through an approval process and are written with essential components.
